Retracting and extending theoutside mirrors
The outside mirror can be folded in towards the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
CAUT,ONz Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-

>Except for vehicles equipped with the
mirror retractor switch@
Push the mirror towards the back of the vehi- cle with your hand to retract it in. When ex-
tending the mirror, pull it out towards the front of the vehicle until it clicks to lock in
place.
>For vehicles equipped with the mirror re-
tractor switch@
Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror retrac- tor switch
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON or ACC, push the mirror retrac-
tor switch to retract the mirrors.
Push it again to extend the mirrors to their
original positions.
After turning the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or putting the operation
mode in OFF, it is possible to retract and ex- tend the mirrors using the mirror retractor
switch for about 30 seconds.
CAUT,ONz It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you
should extend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it
would not properly lock in position. As a re- sult, the mirror could move because of thewind or vibration while you are driving, and
this may limit the driver

Retracting and extending the
mirrors without using the mir- ror retractor switch
[Vehicles with keyless entry system@
The mirrors automatically retract or extend
when the doors are locked or unlocked using the remote control switches of the keyless en- try system.

gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.
